SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. It is an oriental proverb:" that the last straw breaks I the back of the camel." We have hitherto obstinately refused to pin our faith to the doctrine, that the popu lation of these kingdoms is excessive. Within the last few days, however, our convictions have wavered on this point ; we begin to feel that the " last straw" has been put on the camel's back, and that there is at least one individual more in the country than it can with any dcgree of patience endure. Were we to stop here, and not to utter a syllable in the way of describing the op pressive burden to which we allude, there is hardly a school boy throughout the empire who could not at the ArSt guess solve the enigma. Upon this subject there is no second opinion. We speak of a truth univer sally admitted—of a wish u niversally entertained, when we say that a certain Hanoverian now amongst us, thank God ! not (2f us, has been unwelcomed to our shores, and that the only act by which he could ensure our gratitude would be, as the judges direct, on certain occasions, speedily to "re turn to the place from whence he came." Who is there that does not understand the recoil of feeling with which we ever light upon this man's name in the " Court Circular," or in that column of the daily journals which chronicles the movements of those who are " illustrious by courtesy ?" We read of his consultation with lawyers, distin guished by a course of public conduct which has ren dered them obnoxious to the country ; and yet we pity those men for the honour which such a presence has conferred upon them. We hear of his preparations for the festivities of the season, and lists are given of those who are to be his peculiarly-favoured guests. Read the names, and find amongst them, if it be pos sible, that of a single individual who has not suc ceeded in obtaining high rank amongst the " damned to immortal fame :" and yet do we not all acknowledge a sort of good-natured desire that those persons were, by some happy turn of fortune, rescued from the taint ing—the fatal splendour that awaits them ? What is the cause of the universal scowl with which this Prince of the blood is received, after so long an ab sence ? Is it that lie prefers the climate of despotism to that of liberty during the season when he can do us no mischief ? Is it that the moment his power as a legis lator is renewed, he comes back on the wings of the wind, counting every day truly lost on which he cannot hover round our Constitution, to watch the moment for assailing it in its most vital part ? Is it that he has ventured to tamper with the fidelity of the army, in order to feel his way through a course which he durst not recognise, and will not disclaim, with views which may be conceived without difficulty, but which we will not more particularly describe ? No, no, these are all so many elements of hatred, which are, indeed, mingled in the cauldron ; but there is one greater than these—one which boils up to the top of the " hell-broth," and ie more offensive than them all—his very person—it is rank in the nostrils of the nation. But that another event, which every faithful subject of our Gracious Sovereign would deplore, must precede the moment when this Hanoverian is to be blotted from the registry of our population, we should have uttered the wish that the hour of that divorce were arrived I What an impulse of joy will shoot through every fibre of this land, when it shall be re lieved from the pressure of his heel I—when that ill constituted mind, now so mischievous for intrigue, shall be for ever - exiled from our shores!—when that voice that has never been raised but for war against freedom, shall for us be silenced as in the grave ! Morning Chronicle. As the day appointed for the meeting of Parliament approaches, expectation and conjecture are more and more upon the qui vive as to coming events, and espe cially, as a leading preliminary, to the numerical state of the two contending bodies in the House of Com mons. After the best inquiry that we can make, we learn that the most sanguine of the friends of Ministers do riot place their actual majority at more than five, while their opponents, with more diffidence of their strength, state the numbers as exactly equal. Of course there must be considerable uncertainty attending any such calculations as these ; and where parties are so nicely financed, it is not at all improbable that several days of the Session may elapse before an actual divi sion sets the uncertainty at rest. Like armies of pretty equal strength drawn up in front of each other, there will probably be much manoeuvring before the actual conflict begins. In the meantime, the country awaits the issue with an anxiety proportioned to the impor tance with which it is fraught. We only trust that in a mere struggle for place, the vital interests of the country, at so interesting a crisis, will not be lost sight of.—Morning Herald. MR. LISTER'S " GRANBY.”—We are glad to see this worthy successor to " Pelham" introduced thus early into Mr. Colburn's series of " The Modern Novelists," of which it forms the eleventh volume. Well may modern li terature be termed cheap, when we recall the enormous sums paid for the copyright of the novels published in this popular and beautiful edition, and think of the small sum at which these productions of the most celebrated men of the *IT can be procured. We are lost in astonishment at the amazing demand there must be for works of the imagination, to render it worth a publisher's while to run the risk of sending them forth at so low a price, in so beautiful a manner. A GOOD INDEX.--A gentleman was wading through the index of some law reports the other day, and under the " G's" he found " Great mind—Mr. Laing," and knowir , that his Worship was not possessed of a very large body, he was naturally curious to learn something of the dimensions of his mind, and turning to the page referred to, he found the following, " Mr. Laing said he had a great mind to commit John Thomas for the misdemeanor." " MEMOIRS OF THE PRINCE OF THE PEACE•” — The original manuscript of this important work is wholly in the Prince's hand-writing ; the copy confided to the press has been revised, corrected, and compared by himself; his flourish at the end of each page, and his signature at the end of each chapter, attest its authenticity. "It is impos sible for an authentic autobiography of such an extraordi nary pearsonage as the Prince of the Peace (Don Manuel Godoy)", observes the Literary Gazelle, " to be otherwise than politically and nationally important. He played a grand part in one of the most remarkable revolutions of our remarkable age ; and whatever he here says must, whe ther for agreement or contradiction, belong to history. Such are the general scope and bearing of this book, and we will now present its author to the English public. He must be numbered amongst the distinguished characters of his age. In 178-1, when only seventeen years old, and a mere life-guardsman ; he was soon promoted to superior ranks ; a general 'Aker in 1791 ; a grandee of Spain ; closely allied to the Royal family by his marriage with a Princess of Bourbon ; the head of all State Councils and public establishments ; adorned with every decoration awarded to merit, to favour, or to high birth ; envied, courted, calumniated, and proscribed, his career runs through a long period fertile in revolutions." BRAZILIAN POLlCE.—According to a recent tra veller, the police at Rio consists of 600 men, taken from the very dregs of the people—such as thievish shopmen, in capable clerks, ruined operatives, unhappy gamblers, disobe dient sons, and idlers and profligates of all descriptions. On Saturday morning at an early hour a man was found lying in the road at Holloway with his head entirely smashed. Half-a-mile from the spot a waggon and four horses were stopped, and it is supposed the deceased met h:s death by falling from the shafts when asleep. Captain Chamier, R.N., the popular author of " The Life of a Sailor," is about to produce a new naval novel under the title of " Ben Brace, the last of Nelson's Agamemnons." It has transpired that this fiction, inde pendently of the stirring scenes and nautical humour by which it will be characterized, will embody the whole ca reer of the illustrious Nelson, of whom Ben was the con stant follower and coxswain. The battles of the Nile, Co penhagen, Trafalgar, and other exploits of the great hero, are graphically narrated ; and this happy idea is followed up by episodical descriptions of contemporary actions under the command of other naval chieftains. In " Ben Brace" the public will be presented with the on l y historical ro mance of the sea yet produced ; and the author's established celebrity is a warrant of the ability with which it will be executed. CHILD MURDER.—On Saturday evenin g in in quest was held at the Barley Mow, in Mount-street, Gros venor-square, on the body of a newborn male child, un known, which was found dead by the keeper of Grosvenor gate, Hyde-park, on Thursday night. Mr. J. T. Fergus, surgeon to the infirmary of Mount-street, handed in a n ela torately written statement, from which it was gathered that, in his opinion, the child had been born alive, but some days before the natural time. It was a large, well-formed, and healthy child, and its death, from certain medical appear ances, had been caused by suffocation. Thomas Peck, the keeper of the gate, stated that, in his opinion, the body might have been dropped by some person outs'..le the Park. The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder Ir e 7inSt sonig person or persou* unknown," ROLLS' COURT-TUESDAY. _~~-, This was general petition day. IN RE DOXSETT CHARITY. Mr. PEMBERTON appeared in support of the petition pre sented in this case, praying that a new trustee might be appointed of a certain sum of stock bequeathed by Mr. Doxsett for the benefit of the Ministers of Enine Dissenting chapels. One of the present trustees, the Reverend Mr. Fletcher, was wilfing to be discharged from his liability. The :MASTER of the ROLLS made the order as prayed. DAWSON V. STOCKEN. Mr. KINDERSEEY appeared for the petitioner in this ease. The petitioner prayed that the Master might be di rected to review his taxation of the bill of Mr. Scarf, the petitioner's attorney in the suit of " Dawson v. Stocken." A petition, with a prayer similar to the present, had been presented a short time ago by the same party, and was dismissed by the late Master of the Rolls on grounds which he submitted were not applicable to the present ease. As the solicitor of the petitioner, in October, 1834, he sent his bill of costs, amounting to 81 IL, but which, on the taxation of the Master, was subsequently reduced to 7551. 7s. The petitioner objected to various items in the bill, on the ground that clerks' attendances, of the most simple description, had been charged as solicitors. The present petition" differed from the former, inasmuch as it not only objected to particular items, but also objected on the principle that the officers of all the Courts, in taxing bills of costs, recognized a difference between the charges allowed for solicitors' and clerks' attendances. The former petition only objected to particular items. Mr. PEMBERTON opposed the petition. The MASTER of the ROLLS dismissed the petition with costs. COMMON PLEAS.-TUESDAY. OSBORNE V. CLIFF. This was an action brought to recover damages for an alleged breach of an alleged warranty of the soundness of a bay gelding, bought in December last, for the sum of 751. The evidence was, as is usual in cases of this kind, of rather a conflicting character. Verdict for the plaintiff —Damages 25/. EXCHEQUER COURT.-TUESDAY. SHOUT V. \VILSON. This was an action for damages, by reason of a false ar rest. The plaintiff was a salaried clerk in the house of Messrs. Shout and Nicholas, pickle-manufacturers, in Mil bank-street. He was the son of a former partner. The defendant was an auctioneer, and arrested the plaintiff upon a bill of exchange accepted by the firm, believing him to be one of the partners. Mr. ERLE stated the case for the plaintiff, and called witnesses to prove the arrest. Verdict for the defendant. SURROGATES COURT.-TUESDAY. TONGUE V. TONGUE. In this case, which was a suit for nullity of marriage ap pealed from the Arches' Court of Canterbury, a prayer was now made on behalf of the wife, the appellant, that the costs should be paid by the husband, and the alimony be continued, and was opposed on the ground that a sentence having been pronounced against the wife, the Court had no authority to make such a decree. Dr. Barnaby ordered the costs to be taxed, and the alimony to stand over. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. Yesterday William Thomas, aged 24, was convicted o stealing two penny pieces and six halfpence, the monies o Obadiah Blackham. Joseph Langford, a young man of respectable appear ance, was indicted for robbing his employers, Messrs. James Coster and Co., of Cateaton-street. Mr. CLARKSON, for the prosecution, had been informed that the prisoner intended to alter his plea of Not Guilty to that of Guilty. The prosecutors were in a most exten sive way of business, and employed a great number of young men. It was to inform those that the slightest offence would not be looked over, for if they each took but a shil ling's worth of property per day, the amount would at the end of the year become an enormous sum. As the plea of guilty was recorded, the prosecutors were most anxious that the slightest description of punishment should be awarded. The family of the prisoner was of the highest respectability. No evidence being offered, he was acquitted. _ _ The RECORDER then sentenced the prisoner to be impri soned for four months in the House of Correction, to be kept to hard labour, on one of the four indictments that had been preferred against him. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. The man Phillips, who has been in custody for some time on a charge of robbing Mr. Vulliamy, watch and clock maker, of Pall-mall, of several valuable clocks and watches, was brought up for another examination. Mr. Vulliamy, aided by the police, contrived to trace the four clocks stolen by the prisoner. They had been pledged with different pawnbrokers, and three of them, having been unredeemed at the year's end, had been sold by public auc tion. None of the parties who had received the clocks in pledge would undertake to swear to the identity of the prisoner. The prisoner was then further remanded. LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday Joseph Dungey, a journeyman shoemaker, was brought before Mr. HARDWICK, on a charge of desert ing his family, and enlisting in the service of the Queen of Spain.—Discharged. THE FRAUD UPON TILE FOREIGN STOCK 'EXCHANGE, Yesterday public attention was directed to the circumstances which were promulgated relative to the discovery of Lakeman, and the detention at Boulogne of a considerable quantity of property, partly obtained by the fraud upon the members of the Foreign Stock Exchange. The following are the particulars of the discovery of Mr. Lakeman at Boulogne : The clerk of Mr. Wheeler, one of the chief sufferers by the fraud of Mr. Lakeman, proceeded to Dover, having with him a letter of recommendation to a hotel-keeper there to aid him in the pursuit. On the particulars of Lakeman's person being made known, the innkeeper found that he had slept at the hotel at Dover over night, and afterwards had gone to Folkstone. The hotel-keeper and Mr. Wheeler's clerk proceeded directly to that place, where they found that Lakeman had set off to Calais in an open boat. They then followed him, and having ascertained that after lie had loitered about the pier some time he had proceeded to Boulogne, where the pursuers instantly directed their way. On arriving they found that a Mr. Brooks k the name Lakeman had taken) had put up at a hotel, but he was not there when they arrived ; however, they ascertained he had a portmanteau there; which, on being opened by the Commissary of Police, was found to contain Spanish and Colombian Stock, and bank-notes, making in value about 16,0001. The portmanteau was sealed up and placed in the hands of Messrs. Adams and Co., bankers, at Boulogne. In the meantime Lakeman was at the theatre, where he was traced, and on receiving notice of what was going forward pro ceeded to his hotel, and defied the Commissary of Police, or any other person, either to retain possession of the portmanteau, or detain his person, admitting that he had then a very large sum of money about him. With the concurrence of the bank ers, however, the Commissary of Police retained possession of the portmanteau and the property contained in it. After some disputes, during which Lakeman contended that the transactions he had entered into only made him liable for a common debt, he set off to Paris for the purpose of procuring the authority of the Government for the restoring of his property, as he deno minated it. The hotel keeper of Dover then came to London and communicated the particulars of the fortunate occurrence to the members of the Foreign Stock Exchange, where he was received cordially yesterday morning. Mr. Wheeler's clerk continues at Boulogne for the protection of the interests of those who have been the victims of Mr. Lakeman's delin quency. Immediately the disccvery of Lakeman was known a warrant against him was applied for and obtained from the Lord Mayor. The assistance of Lord Palmerston and the French Ambassador was also sought to induce the French Govern ment to give every favility the laws of France allowed, in re storing the property detained for the benefit of the sufferers and to make Lakeman amenable to the laws of his country. It is thought, however, that restitution of the property alluded to, can only be had by process through the law courts of France. No doubt is entertained but that it will ulti mately be recovered. As a fiat is about to be issued against Lakeman as a bankrupt, he will, of course, become responsible to the laws here, and in case of non-appearance within the usual time, an outlawry will be declared against him. His pro ceeding to the French capital, it is believed, will not obtain any advantage to him, as the British Ambassador, as well as the Government of Louis Phillippe, will be in possession of the particulars relative to his leaving this country, before he can arrive at Paris. Much satisfaction is felt, as may well be supposed, by the success of the efforts to find out the retreat of the runaway. The Committee of the Stock Exchange as sembled again yesterday, and confirmed the resolution they had previously agreed to, that the parties whose checks were paid in preference to others, sent in to the clearing-house at the same time, should be returned. It is likely, however, that this decision will be of little consequence, as it is very pro bable that the property detained at Boulogne will be more than enough to satisfy the claims of the members of the Stock Exchange against Lakeman. Difference of opinion exists among some parties as to the soundness of the resolu tion of the Committee, and a protest has been signed nume rously against the decision. Lakeman was never clerk or as sistant-clerk to the Hungerford Market Company. He was only for a short period superintendent of the wholesale fish market, and his engagement with the Company ceased in May last. The Birmingham Journal gives an account of an Oxonian, who was last week made the dupe of three Brummagem blackguards. They plundered the student of 351., and gave him in exchange a " clean piece of brown paper." Letters from Madrid of the 234 ult. have been re ceived this morning (Monday). In general, they maintain the same reserve as for some time past respecting Mendi zabal's financial plans, which he has not indeed, according to the current belief, yet disclosed to any individual. One of the letters, however, ventures a guess at the nature of his views, and though implicit reliance ought not in these circumstances to be placed in any private communication, we conceive that this has stronger claims to attention than any that have yet reached London. The Minister's inten tions are said, then, to be somewhat resembling these :- 1. All the internal debt without interest, of all classes and denominations, will be formed into a single stock, and in scribed in the great book, in the same manner as the English 3 per Cent. Consols. 2. Before this inscription takes place, a reduction in the nominal capital will be made, taking for basis the prices that these securities have borne in the market, in an average number of past years ; and on the nominal capital so recognized an interest of 3 per cent. will be paid. 3. The general opinion is, that some' mea sure embracing these principles will be adopted. It r:- duces the nominal amount of debt, while it presents great advantages to the holders of the stock. To re cognize interest on the whole of this debt, without the means of paying it, would scarcely be so good policy as to reduce the debt to an amount on which the resources of the country will allow a moderate interest to be paid. The holders of the stock will value more highly a nominal capi tal of 60, which will be worth 24 in the market, than a nominal capital of 100, worth only 16 per cent. The funds had risen at Madrid, but the Passive stock more particu larly under the impression, though nothing was positively known, that some plan or other would be adopted for giving greater value to it. After the passing of the electoral law, which was expected to take place in a few days, and alto the Bill for the responsibility of Ministers, it was believed that a dissolution of the Cortes would take place. A re construction of the Ministry was also talked of, under which M. Mendizabal would still retain the Presidency of the Council and the Finance Department ; Count Almodovar, Gomez, Becerra, and Heros would keep their present offices, but Arguelles, Alcala Galiano, and Isturiz (Presi dent of the Procuradores), would have seats in the Cabi net. Great activity was used at Madrid in the military preparations for opening the campaign. At the depot for cavalry at Malaga 4,000 men were collected, and were only waiting the arrival of the saddlery and accoutrements from London, which are known to have been shipped hence. To facilitate the movements of the armed force, orders have been sent to London for the purchase of two large steamers, to convey the troops from one part of the coast to another. —Morning Paper. MONEY MARKET FRAUD.—In the absence of ad vices from Paris with the mails of Saturday, which did not reach London during business hours, scarcely a bargain was transacted. The Committee of the Stock-Exchange, which adjourned its deliberations from Saturday until to-day in re ference to Lakeman's transactions, sat during the whole day, and did not coma to a decision until just the close of business. The resolution of the committee declares that all members of the house who received checks on the last account-day from the parties who have been obliged to sus pend payment in consequence of the fraud shall refund all payments, and come in as general creditors, notwithstanding that many gave bona fide property for the checks, which were paid upon the first clearing. The decision being made known so late in the day, many of the members are not yet aware of it, but much opposition is expected to it as an ar bitrary and uncalled-for interposition. An individual will be called upon under it to refund 1,500/. received for stock, his personal property, which had been lying at his banker's for some time past. It is supposed that a general meeting of the members will be immediately summoned to determine whether the resolution of the committee shall be considered valid or not. Many have declared that they will rather retire from the house than submit to it. A reward of 1,0001. has been offered for the apprehension of Lakeman, but nothing has been heard of him except that he was seen in London early on Saturday morning. Persons who are well acquainted with his appearance have been despatched to the places where he would most Ikely resort to, and every measure has been taken to prevent his escape from the c ountry.—Morning Paper. CONSTA NTINoPLE, JAN. 6.—1 communicated to you in my last the intelligence of Redschid Mehemet Pasha's sudden departure from the camp at Harpoot, and of the removal of his head-quarters to Malattia. The de termining motive of this unexpected measure I was then not able satisfactorily to ascertain ; but have learnt since, that it was adopted in consequence of Ibrahim Pasha's re fusal to evacuate Der, a small town on the right bank of the Euphrates, which his troops had lately taken posses sion of, uLder pretext of its being situated within the con fines of Syria. The Porte maintains that it always be longed to the Pashalic of Marash, which, as well as that of Orsa, is at present placed under the jurisdiction of Reds chid Pasha. A collision between the Turkish and Egyp tian forces appears for the moment the More inevitable, as Ibrahim has remained deaf to the injunctions made to him by the Sultan to demolish the forts he has caused to be erected along the northern frontiers of Syria, and returned the most insolent answers to the representations made to him on different eecasions relative to his conduct in the pro vinces intrusted to his administration.

Mr. Thorp, the master and owner of the brig Vigilant, a coasting vessel, appeared to show cause why he refused pay ment of 3/. 9s. to Thomas Ruddoek, a licensed branch pilot, belonging to the Trinity House, for piloting his ship from London to Gravesend. Ruddock went on board and performed the service for which he claimed the above sum. The defendant contended that he was not bound to take a pilot, inasmuch as his vessel was a coaster, and was ex empted by the Act from the pilotage dues. The Magistrate ordered the sum claimed to be paid, with costs. We have seldom recorded a more distressing fact than the following :—On Friday evening last, a young female was married in Carrick-street. About two hours after the ceremony, while she was going down the stairs of the house in which the wedding party was assembled, her foot slipped upon an orange-peel, and she fell backwards, when the teeth of the comb penetrated her skull. She was taken up in a state of dreadful agony, and lingered until Sunday, when she expired.—Glasgow Herald. " The Sketches by 130 z," which we are now advertis ing for publication, will appear, we are informed, at the end of week. In addition to selections from the " Sketches of London," originally published with the signature of " Boa," in The Morning and Evening Chronicles, the volume will comprise several new tales—including a very powerful article, entiled " A Visit to Newgate," and a variety of original papers, by the same versatile author ; the whole illustrated by numerous etchings, in George Cruik shank's best style. A more entertaining miscellany cannot well be imagined ; and we most earnestly wish it the success which we are quite certain it will deserve, and doubt not it will obtain.—Morning Chronicle. SNOW STOPPAGE OF THE MAIL.—On Friday the Lon.lon mail did not arrive until four o'clock. The cause of delay was the heavy fall of snow between Carlisle and Stonehouse. During the week the weather has been extremely unsettled. High winds and heavy rains prevailed on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and yester day, besides frequent snow-blasts. It appears by the ac counts in the provincial papers that throughout the country the weather has been the same.—Glasgow Paper. BuLwEte s "F RANCE," AND " MONARCHY OF THE MIDDLE CL/ I SSE3."—" This is a brilliant book. Its style is what the style of every work ought to be—the inspiration of its subject. It is airy, rapid, and picturesque, full of wit and good conversation ; its conversational pas sages we may add, forcibly calling to mind the delightful turns of expression to be met with in our own olden comedies. We can name no work with which we could compare it in these respects. It is an original book, about a most original people. What would come nearest to it, we should say, is Horace Walpole writing under the in- spiration of Madame du Defiand. The Monarchy of the Middle Classes,' in. short, is not less valuable than it is delightful. There is great power of suggestion in it ; throughout a vary nice, as well as sound, perception ; and, taken altogether, we feel it to be squally the result of just reasoning, as of quiet and happy observation."—New Monthly Magazine. During the severe gale on Wednesday, many win dows were broken by the violence of the tempest. In the Presbytery Hall, North St. David-street, while Dr. Chalmers was addressing the Presbytery, a considerable portion of the glass of the cupola gave way, and caused some alarm for a few momeuts, but fortunately no person was hurt.—Edinburgh Courant, A TRIMMER'S REWARD.---On Tuesday last, G. V. Young, Esq., M.P. for Tynemouth, attended a meeting of the electors of that borough, convened at his request, and held at the George Tavern, Dockwray-square, North Shields. At the hour appointed, not above fifty persons were present ; about one-half of whom were electors. The greatest number present at one time during the meeting would pot exceed one hundred and fifty.

The delivery of West India last week was 2,045 hhds. and trs., which is 510 less than last year. The delivery of Mau ritius is 5,217 bags, being 1,042 more than tho corresponding week of 1835. The appearance of the market-the lessening of the com parativo stook-the public sales of Sugars-and the extreme wet day, prevented the usual business by private contract; it could not be considered a market, the purchases not exceeding 100 hhds. The public sale of this day, 100 hhds. Barbadoes, a low soft parcel of yellows, sold at 635. to 665. 6d., w hi c h may be considered a f u rther fall of Gd. per cwt. The Refined supported prices much better than any other description of Sugar ; there was some request for shipping, but the demand for home consumption was languid, the latter was rather lower. There is little alteration in the Refined Market this after noon ; goods continue very scarce ; the request for shipping continues considerable, but goods for the home trade are still very dull and lower ; Lumps to pass the standard, but not pa tent, sold to-day, at 84s. 6d. I there continues a good demand for Bastards at fits, to 04s. Gd., they go off freely, but the inferior descriptions, 56 5. to 58 s. are nearly unsaleable. MAURITIeS.-The public tale of Wednesd a y l ast , a b ove 7,000 bags, sold (Id : to Is. loner. By pohlio sale this day 3,387 bags Mauritius Sugar, about one half taken in, the remainder sold on easier terms ; low dark brown 545. to 555. 6d., good browns 61s. 6c1., yellow 635. to 655. and 655. 6d. There is no doubt the chief cause of the late decline in the Sugar murkot is the quantity of Mauritius which has been forced upon the market, the proprietors being so anxious to obtain the present prices ; there appears to be little other reason, as the late authentic intelligence from the Mauritius state a deficiency in the crop compared with last year of 6,000 to 7,000 tons ; the season had been dry and the quality of course very superior, but deficient in quantity, EAST IN DIA. -About 1,000 bags Bengal offered at public sale were withdrawn at former prices, good white 375. 6d. to 395. ; Siam at the previous currency. 1" so1:1;EIGN-Inferior . p arce l s o f P ara ib a, B ah i a, and Pernams (particularly the brown) Is. lower, brown 235. 6d. to white 31s. to 345. 6d.

RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS. —The Rum Market condi nues very steady ; there is little in first hands, except the 0 " cent arrivals from Demerara, which go off steadily as th e y are brought forward at full Market prices; in Jamaica descrip tions there is little business lately reported. In Brandy Or Geneva there is no new feature. The sales which have trans pired arc Jamaicas of fine quality 30 to 36 over at 3s. 7d. to 3s. 9d. ; Demerara 36 over 3s. sd. IRISII PROVISIONS.—The Butter Market is still very dul l, without any appearance of improve men t ; t h e present pri ces of Foreign and the abundant supply interfere with the demand for Irish ; the retailer being unable to ge t a profit on 64 article, which is his chief support during this season o f the year, causes the wholesale cheesemonger to limit ~is credit , which will be severely felt by the former, and 'Operate on the Market prices. The Bacon curers on the other side are stilt looking for higher prices ; the consmnption is bad, i n conse quence of the poor supply of vegetables, but as the speculators still appear inclined to proceed, with the general opinion if advance, we see no other prospect than a further improvemen t.

The chief cause ° the briskness yesterday may be attributed in a great measur e to the great deficiency of the stock compared with last yea r n ' being nearly one fourth les s , b e i ng 28,300 against 21,40,," chests, the latter the present st oc k ; a l so th e over l an d di s pat°' from Calcutta with letters to the 30th of October, and the 10th of November from Bombay, stating the indigo crop a t a greater deficiency than the form er s t a t emen t s ; t h e es timate' . aro 110,000, to 115,000 maunds. The accounts from Bern bay state a large Cotton crop. THIS DAY.-685 chests have passed the Sale this day' The biddings were not quite so brisk to day, which may be accounted for by the mixed and undecided character o f the great proportion of the goods which passed the Sale; there is however no material difference in the pried' About 120 chests were bought in by the proprietor s, 807 chests remain for sale. The sale will finish to-morrow, so that this may be considered its close; the reports at the finish can only be a repetition of what we have published. The total deliveries of East India Indigo from the Ware honses, for the week ending Jan. 30, are 71,779 lbs. SPICES.—There is little alteration in Spices ; the TrAvat e transactions lately have been very limited. This day's steady sale 371 chests Cassia Lignea 545. to 575., part sold, at steaw prices. TALLow.—Tho Tallow Market continues very steady in price, and the request for the home arasumption still COnsr derable. TOBACCO.—The Tobacco Market remains dull ; there ar e no purchases to report. CorroN.—There was a considerable demand for Cotton last week ; the advance in p r i ces a b out i d. from the late leg al point of the market ; th e purc h ases would have been mu ch greater, but from th e fi rmness o f the holders, and the grid stiffening of the p r i ces , t h e request was in a great measure checked. The sales a t Li verpoo l l ast week were above 25,w; bags, at rathe r hi g h pr i ces ; t h e demand was in some meas ure checked by the large imports.
